[Blitzkrieg]

Too early! I am waiting on new Cradle, Monster Magnet and Blind Guardian which I have on order, still hoping to check out new Death Angel soon, and haven't gotten to some others I am interested in which I can't remember right now but I am sure theres a few.

 

[KoichCPA]

I can't imagine anything toppling what's on my list.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Dark Tranquillity and Maiden will make my list.

 

[Goreripper]

I actually don't rate the latest Dark Tranquillity as highly as their last few. The new Blind Guardian is fantastic, CoF is also good.

 

[Goreripper]

Mine as it stands right now:

1. The Dillinger Escape Plan- Option Paralysis
2. Iron Maiden - The Final Frontier
3. The Red Shore - The Avarice of Man
4. Astriaal - Anatomy of the Infinite
5. Five Star Prison Cell - Matriarch
6. JP, Chrissie and the Fairground Boys - Fidelity!
7. Pearl Aday - Little Immaculate White Fox
8. Overkill - Ironbound
9. Fozzy - Chasing the Grail
10. Nevermore - Obsidian Conspiracy

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Fozzy?! Fuck I need to give that a listen then.

We Are The Void took a little longer for me than some of their albums, and it might not rival their last three which are modern day classics, but I still love it.

New Nevermore hasn't grabbed me much at all. Ironbound wasn't bad.

 

[Goreripper]

I will admit that the Fozzy album has a couple of crap songs on it, but for a straight-up honest metal album, it's really good. The Nevermore one isn't as immediate as the rest of their albums. I had to listen to it hard; I think We Are the Void will click too if I give it more of a chance. And Ironbound for thrash, as I haven't listened to the new Death Angel one properly yet, just has it over the others so far.

[Southy]

I honestly never pay enough attention, but the posts here have reminded me of at least 3 I have really enjoyed so in no order.

Iron Maiden - TFF
Ozzy - Scream
The Red Shore - Avarice of man

Beyond that, there is nothing else I can think of

 

[Goreripper]

By the way Josh, did you know that Godflesh is reforming?

 

[KoichCPA]

I did hear that.

I was a touch excited.

 

[KoichCPA]

Have none of those , and never heard of half the bands ...

I don't imagine you'd like any of them, to be honest

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Not sure where it stands on any list, but I have been enjoying new Melechesh a bit this week.

 

[KoichCPA]

I forgot High on Fire- Snakes for the Divine.

Hmm.

 

[Goreripper]

Yeah both of those are great.

 

[Bucko]

I don't imagine you'd like any of them, to be honest

lol i reckon u'd be right there

 

[FerretallicA]

Might as well be a top #1 list for me.

1. Cynic "Re-Traced"

In the spirit of trying to keep with a top 10, way down the list, in a pool of "really enjoyable but not mind-blowing" releases, in no particular order:
2. Shaman - Origins
2. Vanden Plas - Seraphic Clockwork
2. Blind Guardian - At The Edge of Time
2. Helloween - Seven Sinners

The next broad group are only here to round out the 10:
3. Paul Gilbert - Fuzz Universe
3. Angra - Aqua
3. Star One - Victims Of The Modern Age
3. Transatlantic - The Whirlwind
3. Machinae Supremacy - A View From The End Of The World

Still haven't gotten around to checking out the new Cradle of Filth album, imagine it would rank highly. Same with Dillinger Escape Plan, didn't even realise they released anything this year.

Still to come albums I am expecting (or rather hoping) will be awesome:
John 5 - The Art Of Malice
Allen/Lande - The Showdown
Watchtower - Mathematics

ARK, Control Denied and Angeldust new albums look extremely unlikely to see the light of day in time (or at all).
I thought Symphony X had another album coming out this year but can't find anything on it so don't know where I got that idea.

Disappointment of the year:
1. Pain of Salvation - Road Salt One
2. Pain of Salvation - Road Salt One
3. Pain of Salvation - Road Salt One
4. Pain of Salvation - Road Salt One
5. Pain of Salvation - Road Salt One
6. Pain of Salvation - Road Salt One
7. Pain of Salvation - Road Salt One
8. Pain of Salvation - Road Salt One
9. Pain of Salvation - Road Salt One
10. Pain of Salvation - Road Salt One

In short: Pain of Salvation - Road Salt One. What a piece of shit.

 

[FerretallicA]

Fuck, how did I forget...

Kamelot - Poetry for the Poisoned.
That's definitely in the upper-second tier.
